It’s the thief that cries thief. Your desperation is showing and it isn’t a pretty sight. Neither is Ted’s.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I’m impressed by Trumps’ kids, to the extent I’ve heard them speak.

[wiseprince]

Cruz is a disgrace. He won’t ever have my support. Not against Hillary not against anyone. I can hardly listen to him speak now. Now he’s going to go suck up to New Yorkers because he needs their vote but we all know how he really feels about them. If He wins the White House he will be doing it without my support

[longfellow]

All null and void, like the rest of the constitution. Thanks obamass.

[mad_as_he$$]

lol...

[navymom1]

pretzel. Keep twisting.

“Maybe because Kasich wasn’t mentioned?
The Melania Trump ad features the model posing nude with the header, “Meet Melania Trump. You’re Next First Lady.” The footer reads, “Or, you could vote for Ted Cruz on Tuesday.”

And then in fine print under that it says “Not authorized by any campaign or campaign committee”

[Lil Flower]

***Kasich didn’t either. Does that make his family fair game as well?***

Did the ad ask you to vote for Kasich? No it asked for you to vote for Cruz. Cruz should have denounced the ad because by using his name it by definition is affiliated with him. He should care about his own reputation enough to denounce it.

Of course, he is a lawyer.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Oh grow UP House Atrocities.

Cruz is a liar (Let YOU praise him). PERIOD.

[Dr. Sivana]

It wasn’t the use of the photos. It was the mis-use of the photos. Did you actually see the ad? Are you that disingenuous? You must think it’s ok to smear the wives of the candidates. Cruz hasn’t condemned it and neither have you.

No. I haven't seen them. I won't be looking at them, either. Spreading nudie shots of anyone is wrong. The photos are, and have been out of the Trumps' reach for some time, and their use by SOMEONE must have been anticipated.

I never said the re-publishing of the photos was right. It doesn't even help Cruz. Heidi's depression episode has already been brought out by the Daily Mail and others.

I didn't think printing this stuff had to be condemned, any more than I thought that Trump had to go on an anti-KKK disavowal tour. But, for the record,

THERE IS NO PLACE IN THIS CAMPAIGN OR ANY PUBLIC FORUM, INCLUDING GQ MAGAZINE, WHERE THESE PHOTOS SHOULD BE PUBLISHED.

At least consider the possibility that this was done by HRC (so it can be brought up again, as in the public domain), a Larry Flynt type (who revels in what he considers the hypocrisy of conservatives), or a third party who dislikes Cruz as well as Trump and wants to discredit both.

By false flag, earlier, I did not mean Trump's own operation, I meant one of the above. I am hopeful that Trump has the resources to find the leak, and am happy for him to reveal true informatin, regardless of where it leads.

“Cruz should have denounced the ad because by using his name it by definition is affiliated with him.”

Not when the fine print at the bottom says “Not authorized by any campaign or campaign committee”

[bray]

Is there any lie, endorsement or association you Cruz supporters would be bothered by? You may want to look at how cults act. He has proved he is not presidential material over and over and over.

This is the same as his lie about Carson and very bothersome.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

[Velvet_Jones]

The ad didn’t say vote for John Kasich. It did say vote for Ted Cruz.

Cruz can try and distance himself, but his name is right there on the ad.

[Jay Thomas]

And you could be right. Maybe if Cruz shows his disgust for the add, that may defuse the situation.

[HockeyPop]

Meet your new first lady...lovely.

[gogeo]

What about Kasich? He hasn’t condemned it either. Is his wife fair game also? Or is this just a giant smear job against cruz?

This is America, and you can act like a dumb@ss if you wish...that doesn't require we play along. The ad said, "If not, vote for Ted Cruz."

Ted accepted the votes. He gets the stink associated with them if he doesn't denounce the tactic.

I thought Trump was supposedly the character challenged candidate?

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

“It appears that Trump’s only consistent character is his propensity to lie on a daily basis to everyone about everything.”

Fixed it.

Liz Mair?

Thanks for beinging up that name. She sure didn't help Scott Walker's campaign. She also is NOTHING of a Cruz style social conservative. If Stone weren't linked with Trump, I'd link with him.

She also attacked Walker right after her let her go. Bad maneuver in that line of work.

[driftdiver]

Yeah it will be great to have a first lady with a heavy east European accent.
